$18,000 · Nissan Juke Crossover SUV

Edgy, unique, extraordinarily fun, and far more capable than you'd expect, the Nissan Juke NISMO is an all-wheel-drive performance utility vehicle. The turbocharged engine and torque-vectoring AWD system push you out of low-traction corners with real motivation, and there's a sport-tuned suspension that provides surprising agility. But the NISMO edition is very well equipped inside, too, hugging sport seats, an Around View Monitor, heated seats, proximity access, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel. Great fun little SUV - zippy and nippy - it's the perfect city car. Great on gas and I just bought new tires and serviced recently.
